The Ancascocha trek to Machu Picchu is one of the newest trekking routes offered in the Cusco region. The route is based on the classic Inca Trail and takes you past high waterfalls, Inca ruins, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable views.
The Ancascocha trail is relatively easy compared to some of the other routes in the area, so it is a great option for less experienced, or less athletic trekkers. A wonderful bonus about this hike is that far fewer hikers go this way — so if you’re looking to get away from the crowds, this is the trek for you!
